Here in San Antonio the snow peas are doing good, broccoli is huge and I still have serranos from the spring that are hot! Your pepper plant is an ornamental-more like a flower than fruit. I was thinking your squash was spaghetti.
I finally got lettuce and spinach to sprout, along with cilantro...can't seem to keep the squirrels from digging in the dirt though-will a ScareSquirrel work? I'm open to any suggestions on how to keep them out. They drive my labs nuts!

Sugar snap peas - they're the ones where you eat pod and all (if you like). You've probably had them in stir-fry, salads, etc .... They are a cool season/early spring grower that will take light frosts early in their lives. They are climbers, and like wire or chain link fiences to grow on. Down here, plant them in late January and they should produce through April/early May.

The peppers look like tabasco peppers but I have no idea what the tabasco plant looks like when it gets big.

The peppers look like Tabascos. I've grown them for years. It's hard to tell the size of the pepper from the photo, but Tabascos are approx. 3/4" long by 1/5" diameter. I use them by pouring 1/2 of a glass bottle of white vinegar into a sauce pan. Add sea salt and minced garlic and bring to a boil. Empty out the rest of the vineger from the bottle and fill the vinegar bottle with peppers. Then pour the hot vinegar-salt-garlic mix back into the bottle. In a few months you'll have some good hot sauce.
Tabasco plants are cold-hardy and I've had bushes that have lasted for 3 or 4 years. Cool

That's it tabsco peppers - I remember now... I figured out they pick much easier when they're red and ripe - they pretty much fall right off. Picked about a quart the other day after the initial post. Regarding the vinegar, we used to do the same thing back home with chile pequins. Speaking of, I've been trying to get some to grow here unsuccessfully and the other day I was spraying the fence line and noticed a big bush came up all by itself...
Thanks guys!

I always have chili piquins along my fence line....the birds eat the peppers and then p*&p while sitting on the fence, and they germinate. I always laugh when I see them sold at the nurseries as I have never purchased a plant, but have always had them in the yard.

they are hot little suckers.

anyone seen a peter pepper?
